Thanksgiving & the Wampanoag

This week is the Thanksgiving break, and we wish everyone a pleasant and relaxing holiday. Once you come back there are only three more weeks to go of the semester! If you want to take a break from your usual reading and do something different, we have many books not only on the Mayflower and the "Pilgrims," but we also have books on the Native Americans who met them, for example the Wampanoag of Cape Cod and the Massachusetts coast. (The Wampanoag are still around by the way, here is the linkto the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe's website.) Pictured here is Nanepashemet, a Wampanoag dressed in traditional garb.

About Me

We use this blog to post about both our library and the wider world of libraries and information resources. We would love to hear from you, feel free to post a comment
Our blogger goes under the cyber identity of William Lennon. He was a science professor here 1869-1911, and took care of the library for part of that time. Now in his retirement we have him handling this blog for us ;-)
